Eun Mi-hee (1960-) is a South Korean novelist. Her career started when she won two literary contests: one in 1996 hosted by the daily Jeonnam ilbo for her short story “Nueneun gochi sogeseo museun kkumeul kkuneunga” (누에는 고치 속에서 무슨 꿈을 꾸는가 What Does a Silkworm Dream in its Cocoon) and one in 1999 hosted by the daily Munhwa ilbo for her short story “Dasi naneun sae” (다시 나는 새 Bird Flying Again). Cho’s works attempt to reflect the voices of women who have been hurt and scarred throughout history such as female poets of the Joseon era and Japanese military comfort women.
